[Videolib] Securing DVDs

2010-05-17 Thread Moshiri, Farhad
I need feedback from those of you who are using secure containers that holds 
your DVDs with their original cases inside and comes with a key to unlock it. 
What kind you're using? Are you satisfied? Are they heavy duty? What is the 
pricing? Thanks.

[Videolib] End of semester larks! Your help needed.

2010-05-17 Thread ghandman
Hi all

As a way of decompressing after the end of the semester, I'm putting
together a goofy videography of UCB video holdings entitled:

Vamps, Tramps, Hookers, Femmes Fatales and Kick-ass Gurrrls: Transgressive
Women in the Movies

http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/transgressivewomen.html

This is admittedly a real grab-bag:  includes women crossing sexual
boundaries, sundry violent babes, revenge narratives, madwomen, riot
guls, super-heroines, what have you...

What have I left out (besides catwoman from Batman Returns and Lisa
Simpson)?  I'm mainly looking for films in which the transgressive woman
plays a central or leading role.

Have fun!

Thank you Gary for a pleasant take-my-mind-off work assignment.

Here are some titles that come to mind:

The under-rated Janis Carter in Framed (1947) but particularly Night 
Editor (1946): you don't get more cold-blooded fatale than this. (out on DVD)

Polly Moran and Marie Dressler in Politics (1931)  a Lysistrata 
story. (Warner Archive)

Front Page Woman (1935) with Bette Davis as a journalist competing 
against men but better still the whole Torchy Blane series now 
available from Warner Archive.

And speaking of series, what about all the Maisie films starring Ann 
Sothern from Maisie (1939) to Undercover Maisie (1947).  TCM shows 
them occasionally but not commercially out as far as I know.

Kay Francis deserves some space: she appeared in the title role of 
Dr. Monica (1934) and Mary Stevens M.D. (1933) this would be TCM territory
What about Barbara Stanwyck who se new DVD box set is either out now 
or out any minute now..

I wish I had more time.

The others reside in the big archives in the sky, only, I'm afraid.

We've got the Stanwyck on order...can't wait.

 Transgressive
 Women in the Movies

 http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/transgressivewomen.html

 This is admittedly a real grab-bag:  includes women crossing sexual
 boundaries, sundry violent babes, revenge narratives, madwomen, riot
 guls, super-heroines, what have you...

 What have I left out (besides catwoman from Batman Returns and Lisa
 Simpson)?  I'm mainly looking for films in which the transgressive woman
 plays a central or leading role.

 Have fun!

 Where are the Hong Kong martial arts flicks? Many of them feature strong
 (and violent) women, such as Come Drink with Me
 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059079/  and Wing Chun
 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111800/ . For triple the fun, check out
 Heroic Trio http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111800/ starring Michelle
 Yeoh, Anita Mui and Maggie Cheung.

 For a Hong Kong flick off the beaten path, try Wu Yen
 http://www.lovehkfilm.com/reviews/wu_yen.htm : Anita Mui plays an
 emperor who is besotted with a bi-gender fox fairy. Not saying that it's
 a good movie, but definitely worth a look.

 You are missing the most Fatale of all Femmes in the history of film,

 do something simple like seduce a man and get him steal or murder for

Re: [Videolib] Securing DVDs

2010-05-17 Thread Juliet Dayday
Hi Farhad,

Are you referring to DVD cases that lock with the original DVD inside?

If so, we use something called “One-Time” that works pretty well. They come 
with a magnetic key that you can use to swipe the case to unlock.
They cost about $2/case, the key is $75.
They are pretty durable. I’ve had to unlock faulty cases without the key and it 
took a screw driver and some elbow grease to open them.
There are “snap in” trays that allow for two discs in one case – but no more 
than that. They also are really hard to open if you try to add a bulky insert 
to the case; like companion booklets or a cardboard (as opposed to paper) cover.

I hope this helps,
Juliet

What kind you’re using? Are you satisfied? Are they heavy duty? What is the
